General

This item is from the inventory of degree information maintained for each survey respondent.
SESTAT degree information comes from multiple sources. In some cases, it is
obtained directly from the survey questionnaire. In other cases, the degree information is obtained
from administrative information and is supplemented by survey-based data. The degree inventory
includes only awarded degrees - degrees with complete degree level and award date information.
